She wrote, “After reading your letter to the editor today I searched my inbox for your email.” There she found it. She said she has been having trouble with her Yahoo e-mail account. Replying to my April 19 message, she wrote, “I would be happy to give you my response if you are still interested. I pride myself in answering every email I receive as an elected official.” I told her I would appreciate her reply.

My allegedly “long-winded” e-mail message to the candidates consisted of three sentences: “I have a question with respect to your candidacy for election to the City Council. What is your assessment of the points Rich Rifkin made in his April 18 Davis Enterprise column? I would like to know your reaction to Rich’s analysis, and the approach you favor for resolving the problems he described.”

They already can’t go out in public without suffering a barrage of questions. These people are expected to 1) have a full time job, unless they’re retired or independently wealthy 2) faithfully execute their elected office, which entails a ton of reading, research and reaching out to experts, 3) get their message out to the voters, 4) attend nearly every city event and community fundraiser, 5) maybe see their family for 5 minutes a day, if they’re lucky! I don’t blame them for skipping yet another questionnaire that randomly lands in their inbox.

I love how Swanson’s mailers proudly state that she has cast votes for fiscal responsibility. You would think that this kind of question would be right in her wheel house as it directly deals with city finances.

Jeff, thank you for reaching out to these candidates. My wife and I will only be voting for John Munn.
